Inflammation of the meninges. [from HPO]

A type of tubercular infection located outside of the lung, which is the most common location of tuberculosis. There are two types of clinical manifestation of tuberculosis (TB) are pulmonary TB (PTB) and extrapulmonary TB (EPTB). The former is most common. EPTB refers to TB involving organs other than the lungs (e.g., pleura, lymph nodes, abdomen, genitourinary tract, skin, joints and bones, or meninges). A patient with both pulmonary and EPTB is classified as a case of PTB. [from HPO]

A well-circumscribed mass composed of tuberculous granulation tissue that may occur in the cerebral hemispheres, cerebellum, brain stem, or perimeningeal spaces. Multiple lesions are quite common. Management of intracranial manifestations vary with lesion site. Intracranial tuberculomas may be associated with seizures, focal neurologic deficits, and intracranial hypertension. Spinal cord tuberculomas may be associated with localized or radicular pain, weakness, sensory loss, and incontinence. Tuberculomas may arise as opportunistic infections, but also occur in immunocompetent individuals. [from MONDO]

Inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord due to a bacterial infection. [from NCI]

A rare bacterial infectious disease caused by <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>, characterized by a variable clinical picture comprising classic manifestations of meningitis, i. e. headache, fever, and stiff neck, in addition to cranial nerve palsies (most commonly III, VI, and VII), altered mental status, and seizures, among others. Basal meningeal enhancement in neuroimaging, cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities (moderate lymphocytic pleocytosis, moderately elevated protein concentration, low glucose), and a chest x-ray suggestive of pulmonary tuberculosis may support the diagnosis. [from ORDO]

A lung infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis a slightly curved non-motile, aerobic, non-capsulated and non-spore forming strains of mycobacteria. [from HPO]
